haha phew! its all good, i'm just waiting til i can make lots of money like you and get myself a big ol viper tranny

 

Money? I ain't got no money. I've got a second generation Ram instead.

 

If I fall asleep doing my homework I might get out and tighten up the TV cable a bit.
IDK, if I will though.

 

What? You sleep walk, and work on your truck?

 

I WISH!

No, I fall asleep while I am supposed to be doing something and I go outside and do something to wake up.

Besides, it is barely going to break freezing today.

 

Changed out my leaking radiator, pulled my plugs, and had a look at them... They were a bit ashy, but, aside from that, looked pretty good, so, put 'em back in. Dropped the blower to see if there was a bunch of crud in there... nope, not really, cleaned out a few pine needles.... Burped my cooling system, but, my heat is still really anemic. Truck runs MUCH better though today. But then, it's below freezing... so, not really a big surprise. Wait till it warms up some more again, and THEN see if it still runs good. Then I will declare it 'fixed'.

 

I did a radiator replacement earlier last year, it has to be one of the easiest things to replace on these trucks

 

absolutely! i had to remove the radiator on my honda prelude just to change the slave cylinder for the clutch. talk about a pain in the ***!

 

Did you clean them off before you put them back in?
The 76 sorta needs a new rad....it's OLD. lol



Didn't do the TV cable adjustment today, too cold. Gonna maybe try tomorrow. Picked up a pizza in it though, truck hates the cold. lol I could feel the truck groaning as I backed out.

 

My transmission will "whine" a little in Reverse when it's cold out. Once it warms up a bit she's quiet. So I take the most appropriate action and ignore it
